The Devastating Consequences of Industrial Food
The food industry is plagued by the proliferation of "ultra-processed foods" (UPFs), which are characterized by their high levels of added sugars, refined carbohydrates, and unhealthy fats. These foods, designed to be convenient and affordable, have devastating effects on our health and the environment. UPFs have been linked to a range of chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and contribute to environmental degradation through resource depletion, pollution, and waste.
